    Disappointing but not particularly surprising and, in my opinion, not necessarily a good oracle about the federal election.

    Doug Ford literally just got all the good press of standing up to Trump and looking righteous which swept all the bike lane and greenbelt scandals under the rug.

      I’m not sure that the greenbelt scandal or bike lane stupidity carries a lot of weight in most of the province. It should, but I don’t think most people care.

        Exactly. The 905 probably doesn’t even know where those bike lanes are, or where the border of the Greenbelt is. They go on the highway, get to downtown to their office or for a Blue Jays game, either case exit ASAP in fear of the “crazy people downtown” and get back to their house in West Mississauga, and breathe a sigh of relief. For these voters, homeless people don’t exist, bike lanes exist only to be cursed on some streets in Mississauga, but at least the streets have 2-3 lanes for them. Healthcare has always been shit and you’re not going to the hospital every day. They hear GO train is being improved. They are okay. Their material conditions are fine. No need for change and especially not during uncertainty like the one created by the US clown car.
